Aries Full Moon Mercury Mars Health Care What a Combo!

The big debate going on In Congress this week about Health Care Reform rages on. Watching C-Span it’s like a dog and pony show, with each dog and pony playing to the master that feeds them. The public option is the big issue and two bills that contained some form of a public option were voted down by the Senate Finance committee. This is all going on while the Moon is waxing, increasing in light, a time of growth that favors new ideas and initiatives that culminate at the Full Moon. This Full Moon is really interesting because during the run up to it, Mercury combines with Mars which is usually a onetime occurrence. But because Mercury moves slow when first changing direction, Mars the slower moving planet manages to get ahead of Mercury. As Mercury picks up speed, the little messenger catches up with Mars and makes another aspect. So what does this mean you ask? Mercury/Mars alignments indicate action, decision making and progress. These alignments occur first, in the wee hours of Thursday morning and again Sunday morning at 7:37 AM. The Full Moon perfects at 2:10 AM Sunday morning. The Full Moon signals a break in any deadlocks and obstacles to the issues and ideas promulgated during the waxing phase. Mercury/Mars combinations point to quick, decisive action. Sunday afternoon, busy little Mercury faces off with radical, revolutionary Uranus. What’s happening is this, despite the dog and pony show going on; much of the action takes place behind the scenes. A decision will be reached over the weekend, although we may not hear about it until the actual work week begins. Mercury with Uranus indicates a bit of shocking news or a sudden upset. On a personal level Mercury/Mars/Uranus connections say look out, be careful, and pay attention. Curb the tendency to think and act impulsively. Remember, once you’ve done it or said it, you can’t take it back. And forget about putting the pedal to the metal. Bad idea!
